We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Instead of four or five tools, consisting of backup software, storage where the backup resides, and a separate system for reporting and central monitoring, they all now come in the virtual edition for IDP."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"The solution is strong."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"Very reliable and easy to use."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
